If the 99% voted and fully understood the issues then we would consistently vote for people like Denis Kucinich and Bernie Sanders. We need other political parties and other choices because the D/R option is barely any choice at all and we need to educate ourselves and switch off the television and MSM.

'Voting' is the last residue of power that we, the people have and I agree with your post and the need for 'Real honest grassroots action'. I live in hope that OWS can be seed for this in future as it has raised issues that have not been touched for many years.

'We absolutely need to - Keep-on Keeping-ON' - Definitely and this video was copied to me on another thread and I really think that OWS supporters and sympathisers will gain from watching it - "American Autumn - An Occudoc" ; http://vimeo.com/47690515 .

I watched it last night with my kids and a bunch of their friends and seeing their faces light up at the obvious truths spoken was a very special feeling. The OWS MSM blackout can be nullified if we all work on it.

I am cooking and feeding nearly 20 people tonight as we watch the results and I will have this video on as we eat. It is very good - just like my pork chops in cider sauce! In fact I am going to go now and get some more preparation done so thank you for your comments and fingers firmly crossed that tomorrow morning I don't have to start worrying about emigrating with my family over the border to Canada!

Hemp is one one THE most versatile plants known to mankind! Fast growing and good for food, fibre and fuel. I was going to go but got sidetracked by a right-wing shill and now very glad that I stayed to see your comment. Got to hit the kitchen again now before I take the dogs for a walk. Good Luck in MN!

Thanx but I did my only post about 'Inside Job'! It is compulsory viewing for every OWS sympathiser and indeed every US citizen as far as I'm concerned. I REALLY LIKE the sound of 'cottage cheese coffee cake' and I shall be looking into it further but I really have to get going now! Good luck and good wishes until the next time.

OWS in different cities should compete with each other to see who can encourage the most people to open credit union accounts.

And if possible, switch your health insurance to a mutual health insurance company. If people are going to have to buy health insurance, better to purchas with a stake in it rather than continuing to support the 1%.

270 to win - It is reported at this time Obama 275 Mittens 203. Well now I guess it will come down to possible court battles challenges by the RINO/Kochs if they pursue it. Florida is still a reported 50 50 split.

EDIT: MY Bad ( crossed eye's or something ) I thought I read - is this unusual - in which case this statement is correct - No not at all ( it is very normal for a large turnout in Mn ) - I am expecting to see a larger turnout myself - after all is said and done - people have been standing in line for an average wait of over an hour.

This is why I can NOT believe what is being reported by the MSM. Saying that the race is neck & neck. No one - absolutely no one - that I have talked to has had anything good to say about mittens - and everyone I have talked to has been disgusted by the RINO's in office.

His son has financial interests in these electronic voting machines. Just got "patched" or something, I heard.

I recall suggesting that with a "first past the post" election, each voter gets given one marble, and they roll it down a slot of their choice for their candidate. The barrel for each candidate gets weighed before and after the polls closed, and there can be no doubt who won.

Simplify the vote. If people know that the system is not rigged, more people will be willing to make an effort to vote.

If you get busted with some dope, you'll be in court the next day, but white-collar criminals need a couple of years to get their "house" in order before fronting a judge they've probably had installed by their congressman.

Yes - these types of actions and the possibility for change that they bring must stay in circulation - so that more and more people are exposed to an idea that they may not have heard of yet or stopped to consider yet.

Well that was a surprise. I never had a 'Personal Message' before. Not sure why you sent me that though. It is a negative article and perhaps you agree with its take.

OWS is not a 'fad' and although I like Elliot Spritzer - it is far too early to talk about OWS' 'legacy'. If you think OWS has fizzled then your being here and sending me this link paints you as a right-wing, anti-OWS person or agent.

Please do not send me anything else or I'll have to confront you on the forum. Thanks but no thanks and The NYTimes stopped reporting 'the news' a long time ago!

Now I don't like being a tell-tale but I like right wing shills even less - much less - like not at all!

The thing about whispering right wing shills is that they can't stand scrutiny, so I agree that 'out in the open' is probably the best way to deal with them. Good job that you asked your question because we got to 'out' him! Thank you.

But you don't give two shits about that really, do you? Does the state that we are in have anything to do with 8 years of G.W.Bush or Republican wars and tax cuts for the wealthiest? If you think that Romney is going to change anything for the better for the 99% in our country then you are confirmed as an idiot!

Why are you taking that as an insult? Are you saying women are less worthy of dignity? I don't care if you are or not, I was just addressing you by gender. Same thing as, 'hey man'. Again, you show how little you have in common with the left by taking such offense to being called a female when there is no picture or name to go by. And yes, the nick name for Richard is Dick. You got that right sucker.

Their whole wage gets paid into their mortgage account, and the card is linked to the same account.

I don't demand cash for final payment, but there's no way I'm going to buy all the materials to go into someone else's renovation project. Too much money involved. If they can't do cash, they get to come shopping with me.

Absolutely - any job I have ever done I have done to the best of my ability - because that is what I signed on for - and in politics - that means serving the People to the best of your ability - any thing else just doesn't cut it.

If you watched the extended debate with four candidates, it's clear now why Jill keeps getting locked up. It's not because she's perfect, it's because she has her finger on the people's pulse, rather than her lips on corporate cocks like the two puppets.

here's a new saying of mine: "The information age has been hijacked by disinformation."

"...people's congress that does not recognise the criminal elements and mafiosa alphabet soup..." The key words: "does not recognise" ~ they won't recognize, they don't recognize, they are undiscerning, un-nuanced, completely vulnerable innocents. And arrogant!

Unless we have some spontaneous combustion epiphany, some revelation critical mass, some leap of learning, or Darwinian second chance, we are fucked! !

The real result of this sham election will be the startup of a completely people-owned senate and people's congress that does not recognise the criminal elements and mafiosa alphabet soup groups behind the facade.

3rd party - Independent and such is not a bad thing - again it is the individuals stance - support people ? or not. To break the party cycle - people need to start supporting and opposing issues and look for representatives to office that are gonna support them - the issues of the people. Changes like that are best made locally for state and federal house representation - the presidential spot will open as progress is made from the bottom up elsewhere. IMO

You laugh but, I didn't realize how different the age gap was until the other day when I spoke with someone that is only about 5 years younger than me. That person asked, "Well, how do you pay bills?" and I had to explain the entire process of getting money orders and stamps and the post office. They didn't know how to go about paying bills without a debit card. Really. True story.

LOL - love the mental picture that conjures. pink sock monkey pajamas EDIT: I'LL just bet that you are as cute as a button in those jammys - all sleepy eyed and ready to sleep. {:-])

Yeah - I don't know how long I am gonna stay up either - especially considering the mess that a lot of East Coast voting is being done in.

I think it likely that this election will end up hotly contested in court - whichever way it is called.

I know, right? I've been trying to stay with it long enough to find out if I get a republican governor or a republican governor on crack. But, to be honest, it's cold and I'm tired. I dug out my pink sock monkey pajamas and I could very well pass out.
